At 2:30 this morning, I helped my 89 year old mom use her bedside commode then got her safely tucked back in her bed.
I turned around, tripped over absolutely nothing, and landed on the hard wood floor.
Without missing a beat, she looked
at me and said:
“Are you sure I’m the one who needs assistance?”
Alzheimer’s may have stolen her memory, but her ability to insult me is still intact. 🤣
Wishing His Holiness Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex a successful surgery and a swift, full recovery. Our thoughts and prayers are with him, and we hope he will soon be back in good health and strength.
Ukraine is deeply grateful to His Holiness for his prayers and his strong, consistent calls for a dignified and durable peace.
If Congress doesn’t act, Social Security benefits are on track be cut in 2032.
Not on my watch.
We must protect Social Security by lifting the cap so that those with the highest incomes pay the same share as everyone else.
I challenged Ken Paxton to a debate 85 days ago, but no one has heard from him.
People are getting worried.
I’ve received credible reports he's suffering from a rare condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice.
@KenPaxtonTX: I am asking for proof of ability to debate.
Whenever I'm feeling demoralized, I think of my parishioner John Lewis.
He had no reason to think that he would win when he was crossing the Edmund Pettus bridge.
But he just kept walking. We MUST keep walking.
President Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin’s ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
While Ukraine fights for its survival, Putin’s war machine continues to prosecute his terrorist war on civilian populations and innocent Ukrainians are dying every day.
Now, Instead of implementing the tough sanctions Lindsey Graham fought to his last breath to enact, President Trump has announced the United States is lifting sanctions on Russian energy, fueling the Putin’s war machine.
As I saw firsthand in Ukraine last month, Putin is losing this war. Ukraine has fought the Russian military to a standstill and reinvented warfare with drones taking the fight into the heart of Russia.
America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin’s war machine. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression as we did during the first Trump administration.
Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. I have no doubt that if Putin overruns Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time until Russia’s military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him.
America is the Leader of the Free World. For our National Security, for the security of our Allies in Europe including Ukraine, President Trump should rescind this deal immediately and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all.

Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.
